I've been feeding this to our family from a very young age. It's got all the ingredients you need for a very nutritious and delicious dinner for all the family. I've found getting the kids on wholegrain rice has been difficult so maybe start off with white rice or ½ & ½.

Ingredients

  • 4 Salmon darnes – skin off
  • 200g uncooked wholegrain or white rice – you can use a boil in the bag rice just fine
  • 1 head of broccoli cut into florets
  • 1 peeled carrot
  • 2 eggs whisked
  • 1 lemon or 1 lime
  • 150ml reduced salt soy sauce
  • Small knob of butter
  • I tsp honey

Method

  1. Pre heat the grill and season the salmon with a little soy sauce
  2. Grill the salmon 10 minutes
  3. Cook the rice and leave to cool slightly – left over cool rice works best
  4. On a medium heat in a wide based add the butter to the pan & scramble the eggs
  5. Add the grated carrot, rice & soy to the pan – move the mixture in the pan with a wooden spoon to incorporate all the ingredients until the rice is warmed through.
  6. Steam or boil the broccoli for 3 minutes
  7. Squeeze a generous amount of lemon over the fish and broccoli and serve up with a little soy on the side mixed with honey for dipping the broccoli.

Simple nutritious & delicious
